He's on neutral ground with no prep. There'd better be a precedent for him "mind raping" force users without prep or a nexus. Or you're all just spouting bullshit theories, he of course has a plethora of other force powers to use though.

Exactly when did Drew made that claim? (Since he also pointed out that he wasn't aware of the official capabilities of Emperor Vitiate in the matters of telepathy at the time of making this claim)
Official information has more value then personal opinion of an author by the way and it doesn't supports Drew's opinion.

Do you think it was possible to break Revan and Hero of Tython? Yet, Emperor Vitiate broke them.

Caedus is likely faster on neutral ground, Luke moves at sub light speeds and matched Palpatine's speed. So Caedus has a speed advantage over Vitiate. Not to mention comparable force power.
Also, Emperor Vitiate responded really well to Revan and Hero of Tython in battles - both are very fast.

Revan had a shot at beating Vitiate. Obviously not for a majority, but there was still a chance of him emerging victorious.

That's not in the book when he experiences the vision. It could very well be a pessimistic conclusion ex post facto.
It's in the book after he'd experienced the visions. I take it as him understanding that the futures where Revan won were unrealistically ever going to occur, or just a flat out "not gonna happen". For a comparison, Jacen saw visions of himself fighting and killing Luke but I seriously doubt that was a decent possibility.

Actually, Scourge as of SWTOR states that in his vision the trio was going to fail
In addition, it is explicitly mentioned that Emperor Vitiate would have defeated the trio of Revan, Meetra and Scourge:
Betraying his allies had not altered the inevitable outcome; the Emperor would have won regardless. At least this way Scourge was still alive to carry on their cause.

But that doesn't jive with Scourge dismissing the notion out of hand in TOR. No one's saying that he, Revan, and Surik would have definitely killed Vitiate in Revan had events played, just that it was a potential outcome. The more probable outcome, Scourge determined, was that someone else would kill Vitiate. All that proves is that the Hero of Tython stood a better chance of killing Vitiate than did Revan, not that Revan's chances were slim to nihl.

Well idk, Scourge seems to make it pretty clear in the above video that he saw Revan and the Exile losing and that they lacked the power to beat Vitiate. So I guess the other way of taking it is that the final vision wasn't just a possibility, but something that absolutely was going to happen. Akin to the prophecy of the Chosen One.

The Force washed over him in a wave, and a million possible futures flickered through his mind simultaneously. In some the Emperor was no more; in others he had transformed the entire galaxy into an empty wasteland. He saw both Revan’s triumph and defeat in the throne room; he saw variations of his own life and death played out over and over in every conceivable way, shape, and form.
He had to choose, but there was no way to know which was the most likely outcome, or what actions of his would lead to which results. Revan had said visions could guide the Jedi, but for Scourge they brought nothing but confusion.
The moment passed and the universe began to move again, though everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Revan and Meetra stepped forward, ready to initiate the final confrontation. Scourge knew he had to act now; he had to make his choice.
In a sudden moment of clarity he saw the Emperor lying defeated at the feet of a powerful Jedi … but that Jedi was neither Revan nor Meetra. And the Sith Lord knew what he had to do.
Betraying his allies had not altered the inevitable outcome; the Emperor would have won regardless. At least this way Scourge was still alive to carry on their cause.
Scourge considers Vitiate's defeat at Revan's hands at least one of "a million possible futures." All his decision proves is that Scourge concluded that the best chance of defeating Vitiate was the unidentified powerful Jedi (whom, one assumes, is the Hero of Tython). Either way, Revan had the means to defeat Vitiate in the throne room, though to what degree that was the likely outcome is up for debate. The bottom line, though, is that it was still a potential outcome.
No, he differentiates his final vision as being a 'moment of clarity'. I find it likely it was different from the other ones, not a mere possibility but a true prophecy. The actual vision itself is different from how its described in the book. Scourges more detailed description of it has him point blank say that he saw Revan and the Exile lose to Vitiate in the final vision.
The bottom line, though, is that Scourge identified Vitiate's defeat at Revan's hands a possibility.
You can mangle the semantics all you like, but the only interpretation that fits with everything is (as usual) mine. Scourge says it was a possibility; that doesn't change because he ended up opting for the Hero of Tython.
That's an interesting theory. It may even be true. But the only real "cosmic prophecy" in the Star Wars mythology is that of the Chosen One. The Hero of Tython is on the next tier down, along with other great era-defining heroes like Luke. But the only prophesied messiah who really matters on a cosmic level is Anakin Skywalker.
